About Jacob

I am an avid technology enthusiast who has had a range of experience from product teams at Meta, Atlassian, and HBO Max as well as through several smaller startups. I have also had the opportunity to receive offers for product roles at companies including Scale AI, Cisco, Expedia, and more, and have gone through the final round at companies like Roblox, Intuit, Amazon, and McKinsey. After graduating from Georgia Tech, I was accepted to MIT Sloan's Early MBA program and Harvard Business School's 2+2 program. As a coach, I bring a very honest and direct approach and will give you a clear and realistic perspective of the ups and downs of going through these application processes. I have spent a lot of time researching how to stand out to top tech companies through building a resume and preparing for interview cycles, which have become more important than ever as product management roles are at their peak in popularity. I would love to share any insights into how I approached each section of the applications, and how to differentiate from the competition while staying true to yourself. Test Scores: GMAT 740 (51Q, 41V, 6/6 AWA, 8/8 IR)

Why do I coach?

All throughout my life, I have been aided by friends, family, and even complete strangers. Working with this cohort of wonderful people has allowed me to fully unlock my potential and accomplish many things I am very proud of today. I would love to be a part of your journey in unlocking YOUR own potential, as I believe that everyone is capable of surprising themselves!
